Back in 2011, a reader asked about Odorox, a new technology that claimed to completely remove fragrance from fabrics, surface, beds, curtains, upholstery, and other materials that are difficult to remove fragrance from.
I didn’t have any experience with it, but I posted her question and asked if anyone had any experience, and got zero responses.
Today I got a consulting call about Odorox. Same situation. A woman moved into an apartment and everything is scented and she can’t get the fragrance out.
She wants to know…does it work?
Does anyone have any experience with this service?
Odorox is a “hydroxyl generator” that uses hydroxyl molecules to break down the chemical bonds to destroy odor molecules.
I would have to do more research to offer any comment on this, but I didn’t want to wait to ask if anyone has any experience using it. Does it work?
Thank you! Just leave a comment with your reply.
Debra, thank you so much for your consult and getting the Odorox hydroxyl generator treatment question out there!
Louise, I’m so sorry for what you went through with ozone, and thank you very much for posting to share your experience. I’ve read about ozone – though only contractor and pro, not personal experience from consumer/customer side.
RandRmagonline.com, Restoration and Remediation Magazine, is a terrific resource, regardless of whether one is in the industry.
An excellent 5-part series of articles was published in RandR earlier this year: “Cleaning Structures for Chemically Sensitized Individuals” written by Michael Pinto of Wonder Makers Environmental Inc. wondermakers.com

Great article! I’m going to study this one. A lot of information here that will be very useful in clearing chemicals from spaces for people with MCS.
I looked up the comparison of ozone and hydroxyl. I used ozone on a damp painted condo and it was diasterous for me. Could not live there for a year.

Jan 12, 2017 – The third oxygen atom in the molecule is loosely bonded to the stable O2 molecule, detaching itself from the O2 when it comes into contact with a receptive odor molecule. … RM: Ozone is faster than hydroxyl at removing odors but must only be used in un-occupied areas.”
